Chembook

Chemistry in your hand. In three dimensions.

The reference you reach for mid-problem — 118 elements, the NMR and IR tables, the constants and the glossary — next to ninety mechanisms in 3D, computed orbitals you rotate, and a dynamics lab that runs while you watch.

What is inside

A reference that runs the chemistry, not just prints it.

Each is interactive because the data is real: precomputed quantum chemistry, shipped in the download.

  • Reactions90 named mechanisms, frame by frame, arrows on real quantum-optimized geometries.
  • OrbitalsComputed isosurfaces, s through f to molecular orbitals, on a tappable energy ladder.
  • VibrationsNormal modes animated on the structure, with symmetry labels and IR/Raman activity.
  • DynamicsArgon condensing, water freezing, salt dissolving. Velocity Verlet, Langevin thermostat, live g(r).
  • QuizSix timed, scored modes, periodic table to amino acids.
  • Periodic tableAll 118 elements, with trends and full property detail.
  • StructuresChair flips, anomers, unit cells, and a Ramachandran plot.
  • Spectroscopy¹H and ¹³C shifts, IR and Raman bands, MS and UV–Vis, each row plottable.
  • ReferenceConstants, nomenclature, a glossary, and calculators that respect significant figures.
  • NotesYour working, saved on the device.

Offline by construction

Every byte of it is already on your device.

Every mechanism, orbital cube, spectrum and table ships inside the download. No network requests at all.

It works the same on a plane or in a basement lab — and there is nothing to collect: no account, no sign-in, no server.

Progress and quiz results live in the app’s own storage, and Settings → Reset all data erases them. We have declared Data Not Collected on the App Store. Read the Chembook privacy policy.
